1st off...the sun covering the moon never happens...a solar eclipse is the moon passing in front of the sun....and a lunar eclipse is the earth passing between the sun and the moon and casting its shadow over the moon making it look an orange colour...the former happens about once every couple of years and the latter happens several times a year...the former is absolutely spectacular (i've seen one)...and the later is pretty rubbish unless you get a good one when the moon turns purple
